Wednesday night fan running group

Author: charliesangel13

Hey TWNers! Looks like we’re due for a little break from the 90+ degree temps so hopefully a great evening for a run! Routes are 6 miles, 8 miles and a 3 miler as well. Note to 3 milers – your route does not go past the SAG but does stay with the other runners for most of your miles. Many thanks to Ed for hosting our SAG tonight! Everyone have a great run!

The weather as forecast right now is not so good for our run….looks like it could be rainy or at the very least overcast. PLEASE WEAR REFLECTIVE GEAR OR CARRY A LIGHT OF SOME VARIETY!!! We are going into Windsor Farms this week which is notorious for getting runners lost in the dark! Please check the route ahead of time so you know where you are going. And bring a light!! (Yes I said that twice) 🙂

Let’s end the summer with a celebration of all our running accomplishments. We all survived through some damn hot weather, and pretty grueling runs, so we all deserve a cold brew or two or three! 🙂

We’ll meet at Banditos on Sunday 9/4/16 at 3:30 PM. If you want to pre-party at Banditos please arrive early enough that you can still meet us outside at 3:30. From there we will hit two breweries in Scott’s Addition – Isley and Ardent. And then we’ll head back towards Banditos area with a stop at Buddy’s! Then we’ll go south towards Carytown and stop in at Citizen Burger Bar. Last, we’ll cross over Boulevard to enjoy one more stop at Cask. Then we’ll head back to Banditos.

Come for as much or as little as you want! You can even join us halfway if you like. We’ll tag ourselves on Facebook with each stop so you know where we are!

Please like this post if you think you’ll be joining us for all or part of the run so we know how many people to expect. And Happy Running!
